Noble and Col. D. p. Dyer, two promi-
nent members Of the Grand Army of
the Republic of this city, received a letter
to-day from Gen. Sherman, in which he
discusses at some length the recent mud
die regarding the invitation to President
Cleveland to visit St. LOUIS during the
Grand Army encampment next fall. Gen.
Sherman says:
The idea Of Mr.. Cleveland being in
suited, much less endangered. should he
be on the stand ALONGSIDE our commander
in chief, Gen. Fairchild, when the Grand
Army is passing in review, seems to me
monst-ous. l think | know the Iowa
boys too well to believe such a thing pos
sible, because men are never ungenerous.
The Iowa soldiers were brave men. [
know of knowledge acquired in battle,
and L will pledge my life that no Iowa
soldier will do 81 unmanly an act, and
should Mr.. Cleveland accept the invita-
ton, which l hope he will. to attend the

public at st. Louis on the 18th of Sep
TENDER next, l will stand by his side or

Shortage Discovered.

BUFFALO, June ia sensation was
developed in the typographical convention
during the secret session yesterday after
noon, the particulars of which are slowly
leaking out. 1t was learned last night
that Treasurer Pascoe had rendered his
his resignation, but the reason for his ac-
ton was kept a close secret. This morn
ing. however. it was learned that a short
age had been discovered in Pascoe's &C
counts. The finance committee had been
at work on the books for some time, and
as soon as they we're convinced of the
shortage they reported to the convention.
What transpired in secret session is known
only to the delegates themselves, but
Pascoe had severed his connection with
the executive department of the union
when the doors were r,opened.

entered the house and the inmates ceased
their attack on the force, which entered
and carried out the work of eviction,
Five women who had been extremely vio-
lent in their attacks we're arrested.
